Not dangerous, not fluffy; just rude

| No Comments

I've been talking to a friend who went to an (Anglican) Church on Sunday and no-one spoke to her. Even at coffee she was ignored, in fact some people subtly moved so their backs were towards here and hence she was out of their sight.

She left angry, upset and disillusioned. Her question, "How then is the Youth and Child Friendly award going to work?"

It seems to me that a good theology of being christian is that through grace, forgiveness and Spirit led journeying we become more fully human, more complete and free ... as the person God made us to be. Truly scary when the expression of the body of Christ therefore becomes less ably human.
